Thanks so much! I really appreciate you reading. I’ve been wanting to explore what happens when care collapses — not just in theory, but in lived reality. The world Mara inhabits is a version of our own, just a few steps further down a path I’ve reported on as a journalist. And the story of phages, buried cures, and what we choose to forget, that’s all part of that. So glad it landed with you!
Stories are always made more powerful when they come from some kind of emotional truth. It is so cool that you have the background and resources of your reports to draw from here. Keep going, I am excited to dive into Part 2
This was a really interesting first chapter, I am interested in this untapped world of the midwives and the brutal truth of Mara's work. Great work :)
